Between Worlds: Caroline Jackson and Tim Garwood
— The Arts Club London 04 June — 28 September 2025

Between Worlds brings together the work of Caroline Jackson and Tim Garwood, two artists whose practices move between structure and spontaneity. Jackson’s gestural paintings blur the boundaries between landscape and architecture, evoking places in flux through a tactile layering of materials. Garwood’s compositions, shaped by sensory impressions of rural Somerset and urban London, combine found objects with bold mark-making to ground his abstractions in lived experience. Together, their works open up dynamic, fluid spaces where memory, observation and transformation converge.

Caroline Jackson (b. 1999, UK) is a London-based abstract painter originally from East Sussex and a 2022 graduate of The Slade School of Art. Her practice is rooted in intuition and emotion, using vivid colour, line and form to explore the interplay between the natural and built environments. Drawing from both organic landscapes and architectural structures, her gestural works blur the boundary between the two, inviting viewers into spaces where balance, transformation and impermanence coexist. Working with materials such as charcoal, oil pastel and acrylic, Jackson builds layered, textured surfaces that feel both structured and spontaneous.

Tim Garwood (b. 1984, UK) creates highly tactile, abstract works that reflect the duality of his life between urban London and rural Somerset. Using found materials such as sacking, denim, lace and IKEA tablecloths, Garwood pours, squirts and brushes paint into layered, intuitive compositions that ground abstraction in lived experience. Inspired by painters like Joan Mitchell and Frank Bowling, his process is immediate, physical and improvisational. The result is a raw, vibrant exploration of place, memory and materiality, offering a slower, more embodied way of seeing in a digital world.

The exhibition is curated by Amelie von Wedel and Pernilla Holmes of Wedel Art.
